Configuring Teams Archiving

You can archive files, posts, and replies from direct chats, group chats, or team channels in Microsoft Teams. To make archived Teams content available, configure an IM Archiving job.

IMPORTANT
To perform searches on archived Teams content, configure and run an IM Indexing job first—see Configuring Teams Indexing. An Index Job is not required if you only want to archive Teams data for compliance reasons, and do not intend to search the data.
NOTE
It is not necessary to create a policy to guide this job.
